Working with the animation students at Brigham Young University has been a real treat. After much blood, sweat, and tears, we have finally completed Alight. We spent countless hours animating Sparker, the "fire boy," and Aquanna the "water girl," to get the effects and character animation looking just right. To us, they're almost real-life characters by now. We hope you enjoy this unique little piece of Flash animation, mixed with After Effects compositing.

Amazing....Absolutely amazing../

Look, I'd like to post a comment fairly balanced or seemingly cool, but I really cant on this case. It is an amazing flash video, but It left me truly speechless, Just beautiful I can say. It doesn't even deserve the mere 10 stars. They're nothing compared to what I'd like to rate.

Great animation, but...

Honestly, the thing didn't make much sense. I'm still sort of confused, but that might be because I don't feel like looking for symbolism. And it'd be nice if I was convinced more that fire boy would really rage that hard over water girl. Still a 10 for the animation work though. Nice job.

Absolutely beautiful

I thought this animation was amazing. I love the story, and the music ties it all together. The idea of fire and water falling in love is absolutely brilliant. The atmosphere of the whole animation is perfect. I especially like the end. It makes everything make sense. Totally a 10.
